The closest value-tier option is Wistful Walk by Johnstone's (very close), slightly cooler and slightly softer. A cooler match reads cooler still in a north-facing room, where the light is indirect. No other brand gets within a near-identical match of Citrine — it’s one of the more distinctive colours in the library, so expect a visible difference whichever you pick. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
